Product Description: The new "extended edition" of this ground-breaking feature length movie presentation reveals The Great Secret of the universe. It has been passed throughout the ages, traveling through centuries... to reach you.
This is The Secret to everything - the secret to unlimited joy, health, money, relationships, love, youth: everything you have ever wanted.
In this astonishing program are ALL the resources you will ever need to understand and live The Secret. For the first time in history, the world's leading scientists, authors, and philosophers will reveal The Secret that utterly transformed the lives of every person who ever knew it... Plato, Newton, Carnegie, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein.
Now YOU will know The Secret.
And it can change your life forever.Amazon.com: Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? "That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things," proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it’s The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu). Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply won’t resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini

Customer Reviews:
- The Secret: This is a great, great film that everybody should see. I listen to it often. The comentary is also very interesting.
- LIFE CHANGING: This DVD got the ball rolling for me, and my life is changing drastically. Amazing things have manifested in my life, and continue to show up. I have learned the power I have over my own destiny, and have conciously learned how to change my moods, feelings, and thoughts. If you are interested in this power of attraction, I also highly recommend "The Power of Your Subconcious Mind", by Joseph Murphy. It really explains how and why this all works, and is very easy to read.
- I love this book! To me, it reinforces things learned years ago!: This is a great book - it brings back my days as a church boy, when John Avanzini would talk about planting
seeds. This goes with my general feeling - that we are people who do have the power to make our own destiny,
and that you must have a vision. It kind of goes along with the adage about racing cars - if you look at the wall - that is where you will end up, crashing into the wall. If you force yourself to look where you want the car to go - you stand a much better chance of it going there.
This is a book and DVD I will read/watch again and again over the years - I feel it helps you be a creative person, which is what I believe we are all about. - Populist Capitalistic Bait for Incompetent Fishes: My friends and I trade documentaries, and yesterday this excrement floated in.
It is hard for me to find the words to describe the tragedy that is this production.
The real secret is there is a sucker born every minute, and its no secret, anymore than anything in this overrated infomercial.
Utter common advice, rephrased and packaged as some sort of mystical secret, along with the utmost simple-minded populist message imaginable: everything you could ever want, free...and of course without effort.
And what would simpletons want, if they had command of the entire universe, which supposedly they do? Why a new car, of course...and a dream house...and lots and lots of money.
And there are lots of pictures of money, and expensive cars, and million dollar homes.
Surprise! There in the DVD case, additional merchandise just for you... to enable that new car, dream house, and lots and lots of money...for the producers of this raw sewage.
- I'm usually very skeptical of material like this...this one is the exception: I heard about this movie from a friend and decided to watch it. I understood it and the principles aren't very hard to grasp. What it does require, however, is some positive visual affirmation and you have to put some faith into it. It is a little out there, believing the universe will shift for you but you know what, it does!
